Disallowed goal is ‘joke of the year’ - Bayern president fumes over VAR decision

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has labelled the decision to rule out Leon Goretzka’s goal against RB Leipzig ‘the joke of the year’.

Goretzka had the ball in the net six minutes into the second half with a smart finish from the centre of the box, but the referee ruled the goal out for offside after consulting VAR.

And Hoeness was furious with the decision, claiming that the midfielder was level and that – as he believed it was not a clear and obvious error – VAR should not have been consulted in the first place.
